Our House Rules:

Blades Out Not In
An ancient Celtic family rule which states that one member of the family shall not turn their blade on their family. Hate and Rage are to be pointed outwardly at the foes invading our lands. Love and Companionship are to be pointed inward at the family. Attacking a member of the family can result in dismissal and will be dealt with swiftly by each family leader.

Our Credo

Honor
I will honor the community by acting in a manor that speaks of our kindness, I will refrain from activities that would dishonor the community, and I will honor the requests of the community elders. I will fight my opponents with honor, giving them a fair fight. I will not spawn camp, grief, cheat, or harass my opponents. I will encourage them to fight and win my battles with the highest of honors.

Respect
I will respect those around me both within the community and outside, I will act in a manor which speaks of our benevolence and kindness, and I will not disrespect the community by engaging in spiteful comments or actions even when provoked.

Integrity
I will hold our communities Integrity close to heart and I realize that my actions directly effect that of the whole community. I will say what I do, and do what I say. I will not fall back on promises or make false claims.

Fellowship
I will meet others with open arms and welcome those who cross our path. I will act in a welcoming way and ensure that those who participate in our events feel welcome whether they are part of the community or not.

Our Etiquette Guideline:

Think We Not Me (Push Vs Pull)
When asking for help from the Community try to avoid wording your request as such that you are asking someone to do the work for you. A statement such as "Can someone help me with this quest?" is a request, it pushes your objective on others, however a by rewording your statement to "I am organizing a group for this quest, If you are interested let me know." you create an invitation, which pulls members of similar interest to you. Both mean the exact same thing however one expresses that you are looking out for your community and not just for yourself. This in turn will encourage shared adventures. After all, a community is not about you or I, it's about us.

Play How You Want, When You Want, As Long As You Want
Our community is a casual gaming community and with this we do not tell people how to play, when to play, or how long to play. Our members are free to come and go as they please without the fear of exile or grudges being bore. They can play as much or as little as they like.

Conversation & Ventrilo
The synergy of a community can turn ugly at any moment. Conversation within the community needs to have clear boundaries to prevent bad blood and hostile attitudes from forming. We ask that all members keep the Ventrilo and community chat child safe at all times. We have a lot of families that game together and we do not wish to cause heartache.

In addition please refrain from discussing religion, politics, and other heated debate prone topics. We do not need unnecessary divides within the community. Trolling is strictly forbidden and falls under the "Blades Out, Not In" Rule and will result in removal from the community.

Using Community Efforts For Self Profit
Please do not use the Marketplace, or Family Vault to profitize your gaming experience. We do not seek profits from within the family and at no time should you claim the work of others to turn a profit. This is also considered part of the "Blades Out, Not In"

If you agree with the items above please enter the "Secret Word" into the text box below. By doing so you agree to these terms and will be welcomed into the official ranks of the community.

/agree wholeheartedly
I've seen a rise in the spirit of negativity coupled with "internet bravado" in other games, especially ones with a pvp dynamic. Let's make sure we aren't a part of it spreading to this game. I've appreciated the classy way our leaders and regulars in vent have handled themselves.

Family, It is what separates us from the rest. In the short time I have been a member, I have been the witness of only patience, kindness, and a true generosity to the members of the family, as well as others from differnet families. I will live, fight, and die side by side with and for the family. Gaisgioch, a name that reverberates the true essence and meaning of HONOR. Miraj, Pyrsia, and Sunamee.
